I Pretended to be Devoted and Weak, but My Husband Can Read Minds - Chapter 19

Chapter 19: Sudden Intention

Ning Wan heaved a sigh of relief. She summoned Little Glutinous Rice as soon as she returned to her room.

“That’s great. Now, I’ll use Huo Ce to chase that book-transmitting person away!”

However, Little Glutinous Rice sighed. “Big Sister, this is only the beginning. Not to mention that there will be an endless stream of book transmigrators trying to approach Huo Yuan in the future, this Chi Nan doesn’t seem to be someone who will let things go! How can people who do evil have the self-awareness to know when to stop since ancient times? I think you should be careful everywhere!”

Ning Wan frowned. She felt that what this little thing said made sense, but she did not think much of it.

“Who did I offend? Why should I fight my way through? I don’t have the ability!” Ning Wan sighed.

Little Glutinous Rice seemed to be a little frightened. “Big Sister, what’s wrong?”

Ning Wan ignored it.

Little Glutinous Rice thought for a moment and seemed to have understood something. “Miss, Huo Yuan is the chosen one. You’re the person the chosen one trusts the most. Your blessings lie ahead! Best of luck!” It said with gusto.

As if I’d believe you!

Knock, knock. Someone knocked on the door.

“Young Madam, Sir invites you to the study,” Han Chi said politely from outside the door.

Go to Huo Ce’s study?

Ning Wan was a little confused. Even though they had been married for more than two years and Huo Ce did not come back much, there were still some areas that belonged to Huo Ce, such as his study room that was connected to his bedroom.

Huo Ce listed that place as a forbidden area.

Ning Wan’s persona was that of an obedient and sensible woman. Naturally, she would not cross the line.

In fact, Ning Wan was very disdainful of Huo Ce’s unreasonable way of circling the private sphere. She was not interested in knowing what secrets the person who could do such a childish thing was hiding.

She was even less interested in knowing if it was a trade secret. The more he took care of the empire and accumulated wealth, the better. Because when he died, half of it would be hers. She was happy to enjoy the part she deserved.

Yet this Huo Ce actually asked her to go to his study?

The first thought that came to Ning Wan’s mind was: Huo Yuan couldn’t resist the pressure and sold her out!

Ning Wan was nervous all the way. She pressed her chest, which was beating a little fast. She cheered herself on when she reached the door of the study.

She looked up and knocked on the door.

Han Chi immediately opened the door.

[It’s alright, it’s alright. It’ll be fine! Isn’t it just helping a child get rid of his tutor? What’s so great about it?]

The voice barged into Huo Ce’s mind before the woman entered. He was stunned for a moment before looking down at the flushed Huo Yuan, as if he understood something.

When Huo Yuan saw Ning Wan, he immediately walked over and grabbed her hand. “Young Aunt, Little Uncle will bring me to Coconut Island tomorrow for a week!”

Ning Wan looked down at Huo Yuan’s excited face and smiled. “Is that so? Then I’ll help you prepare your luggage.”

Huo Yuan nodded. “Thank you, Little Aunt.”

[Poor child. You’re already so excited when he brings you out on a trip. It looks like I have to bring you out to play more in the future. Otherwise, someone might use going out to play to abduct you in the future.]

Huo Ce’s eyebrows twitched.

“Prepare your own while you’re at it. Come with us!” Huo Ce said calmly.

Ning Wan was stunned.

Even Han Chi and Huo Yuan were stunned.

Huo Ce said calmly, “Someone has to take care of Huo Yuan, right?”

Han Chi nodded in understanding.

[So you want me to be a nanny. Hmph!]

Huo Ce did not look up, but he felt an angry gaze slide over.

He felt that this woman was quite interesting.

Huo Yuan was really happy and shook Ning Wan’s hand. “Little Aunt, Little Aunt, that’s great.”

Ning Wan smiled and touched Huo Yuan’s head.

[I won’t argue with him for Huo Yuan’s sake, I won’t be at ease if I really handed Huo Yuan over to him.]

“Huo Yuan, let’s go pack our luggage and see what you want to bring,” she said gently to Huo Yuan.

She really treated Huo Yuan well!

Huo Ce could see this even if he was blind.

Children’s hearts were the purest. Their perception was the most accurate as to who was sincere and who was pretending.

Huo Ce also did not intend to argue with her on account of Huo Yuan. He was actually relieved to hand Huo Yuan over to her!

“Little Uncle?” Huo Yuan looked at him in confusion.

“Hm?” Huo Ce came back to his senses.

“Can Little Auntie and I go pack our luggages?” Huo Yuan said again.

Huo Ce nodded and looked at Ning Wan. His tone was still calm. “Pack mine up too!”
